About Frigg

Frigg is the one-stop-shop for renewable energy project financing. Our platform serves as a marketplace for small & medium-sized (1-50 MW) renewable energy projects, an asset class overlooked by traditional financiers.

We work with project developers, investors, asset owners, and external scoring agencies to streamline the financing process to make it more modern, efficient, and transparent.

Through our platform, we standardize the entire project finance value chain, including origination, due diligence, structuring, securitization, financing, and post-investment monitoring & risk management.

Our mission is to make climate-focused projects accessible, manageable, and attractive to investors. By unlocking this asset class and ultimately creating liquidity in the market, we believe we will break down one of the major barriers to climate change mitigation: infrastructure financing.

Join us in our journey towards
making finance more sustainable!
